30+ Personal Logo Ideas for Your Job Search

Personal branding is a must if you expect to stand out in a competitive job search. One of the best ways to create a consistent personal brand is to design a two-letter logo.
Two-letter or “monogram” logos work for several reasons. One is that they help hiring managers remember your name; since they’re looking at your initials every time they see your logo, they tend to think of the name behind the letters. Two-letter logos also create endless design possibilities. And they’re scalable enough that they won’t waste precious space on your resume, yet can still be printed bigger on a presentation folder or portfolio.

Rotating letters is a more complex technique. You can turn letters on their sides or even upside down to create new shapes. Or, connect the rotated letter to the other letter’s empty space.

Symbols or pictures used in place of a letter can help reinforce the word the letter otherwise stands for. In the infographic, a cat inside the letter “C” helps emphasize the name “Fit Cat,” for instance.
